3D Studio Max Help

I'm in the process of rendering a scene; i've continued to look around and not been able to find anything on a way to make Trees with alpha maps. Does anyone know a good way to do it and possibly make it look good?

are you looking for help with how the textures should look? how to create the alpha channel? or how to make the geometry?


Most games before had the simple + shaped trees, where they were just two planes intersecting to form the tree. Now they actually place branch planes throughout the tree to give it better depth.

But what in specific were you looking for?
